How to Balance H2S + SO2 = H2O + S (Hydrogen sulfide + Sulfur dioxide)

To balance H2S + SO2 = H2O + S you will need to be sure to count all of atoms on each side of the chemical equation.

Once you know how many of each type of atom you can only change the coefficients (the numbers in front of atoms or compounds) to balance the equation for Hydrogen sulfide + Sulfur dioxide .

Important tips for balancing chemical equations:

Only change the numbers in front of compounds (the coefficients).
Never change the numbers after atoms (the subscripts).
The number of each atom on both sides of the equation must be the same for the equation to be balanced.

Ur the best bro i learned balanceing by watching all ur videos ur the best ever 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[arzootabassum]

Thank u sar main aapki video se main apna pura school ka homework complete kar li😊😊😊😊😂

[mandygumede]

Best balancing strategy ever🙏🙏Thank you

[ubralod]

thank you so much.l am from Georgia and your little videos are best to studing.l like your chanel.super.♥️📚♥️💗📚

[tiggox]

Thanks sir now I know how solve this equation so many many thanx 👍

[rajkiranshinde]

Sir thanks.I have very problems in this equation but now it all solved.

so is it gonna be the same if H2S aqueous?

[HenryStickminTheMyWife]

umm...why 2+1?? i need more explanation on this :(

[gabriellafreitas]

Can you show us how to balance H2S + SO2 = S8 + H2O? Thanks

[ukemeezekiel]

Many thanks so far.Which of reactants is undergoing oxidation?

[mindyourownbuisiness]

It is a wrong equation, for one molecule of Sulfur contains 8 atoms but you have written only S that is one atom.

Super equation thanks to help mee on project

[meghnashome]

It's good but it could better if you explain in steps
